Non-Stick Skillet
Linda from FL
Got this skillet with a grill pan and overall I'm happy with it. I do like the grill pan better, but they're both fine.

Review by Randy Shulman
CÉLINE SCIAMMA'S UNASSUMING, tender drama revolves around Laure (Zoé Héran), a pre-teen girl who refuses to shed her tomboyish ways. With her short hair, steel-eyed gaze, and slight swagger, it's no surprise that when her family moves to a new apartment complex, Laure is instantly mistaken by the neighborhood kids as "the new boy." She does nothing to dissuade her playmates, passing herself off as Michael. Since she's not yet developed breasts, going shirtless isn't really an issue in a game of "shirts vs. skins," but swimming -- ah, well that presents an altogether different situation. Nothing a carefully positioned lump of Play-Doh can't solve.
Michael draws the attention (and ultimately the affections) of Lisa (Jeanne Disson). It's all very innocent, yet the implications are enormous -- and the consequences, potentially traumatizing. Despite its gentle rhythm, Tomboy edges deliberately toward a climax that you know will be painful for all involved. It's not a question of whether Laure's gender will be revealed, it's a question of when and how. Credit goes to Sciamma for finding a way to create a denouement that is honest and intense, fully uncontrived, one that leaves us stunned and slack-jawed.
Héran is astonishing as Laure/Michael; her performance is subtle, studied, letter-perfect. She's matched by Malonn Levana as Jeanne, Laure's 5-year-old sister. A natural beauty, Levana is a joyous burst of radiance, lighting up the screen like a supernova. It's like watching a French model in an embryonic stage.
Tomboy traverses that complicated, awkward terrain of gender identity with a quiet, determined resolve. There are no sledgehammers here, no artifice. It's all organic, and Sciamma's only mission is to tell a story that is, in many respects, universal to all those who feel as though their being, their soul has been placed into the wrong receptacle.

Interviews with more than two dozen alumnae and professors fill in a portrait of Cruz, in Cambridge two decades ago, that would be fully recognizable to those who know him now in Washington. He made a lasting impression as someone both arrogant and pretentious, as well as someone unwilling to yield or compromise.
But he was also universally respected for his intellect, described by friend and foe alike as brilliant but with a hard edge.
For his part, the senator tells the Globe he's softened, something for which many of his current colleagues may be counting their blessings.
"I suspect I was not the first 21-year-old who thought he knew more than he did,'' Cruz said in an interview in his Senate office. "And one of the virtues of age, one of the virtues of getting married and becoming a father, is it often leads one to take a more measured approach to life."

Yay! You guys are awesome!!
Okay, so I have stretched ears from Celestial-Fox (like elf ears or dumbo ears?)
A smile from Cloudy-Chan
A crazy beard from jaidurn
A forehead nose from Evil_cake
And a curvy mustache from Shadowsfade!
I LOVE the suggestions! I'm going to do all of them, and if any more come up I'll add them to the list..
Thanks a million! I'll post an update later tonight... this is going to be fun!
Stretched ears are the correct term for "gauged" ears. :]

hamsterdb Embedded Storage is an embedded database engine for C/C++, including wrappers for Java, .NET, and Erlang. It supports in-memory databases, very fast database cursors, "record number" databases, ACID transactions, and duplicate keys. hamsterdb is very fast and highly configurable. It compiles and runs on Unix platforms, Linux, Microsoft Windows, and embedded platforms.
VoltDB is a blazingly fast relational database system. It is specifically designed to run on modern scale-out architectures: fast, inexpensive servers connected via high-speed data networks. It is aimed at a new generation of database applications - real-time feeds, sensor-driven data streams, micro-transactions, low-latency trading systems - requiring database throughput that can reach millions of operations per second. What's more, the applications that use this data must scale on demand, provide flawless fault tolerance, and enable real-time visibility into the data that drives business value. It includes client application drivers for applications written in Java, C++, C#, PHP, and Python. VoltDB community members have also authored client libraries for Erlang, Ruby and Node.js. There are streaming export capabilities for leading analytic database environments, including Apache Hadoop.
epers stands for "Erlang persistence". As the name suggests, it tries to make it easy to use databases in Erlang programs, to make the language a little more agile, and (humbly) offer a nice adapter for several databases, hiding their implementation details (and the API of the library/framework/driver used to communicate with them). To achieve this, it aims to offer a somewhat consistent API to define and work with your model, while at the same not coupling your code too tightly to it.

More than 200 million people use Twitter worldwide—it's become a social networking phenomenon, revolutionizing the way information is consumed and shared.
Now, a London hedge fund is planning to use Twitter in a new way: making investment decisions based on tweets.
The fund's founder, along with an Indiana University professor, believe the collective moods of Twitter messages can predict market movements in the days ahead.
Using propietary technology, the fund will monitor tweets and sort them into ten catagories, such as calm or alert or happy.
What do you think? Would you consider using Twitter for investing advice? Take our poll, share your opinion, and look for the results Wednesday on CNBC.

I just wanna say this,as much a fan I am of james trek series since I first watched some of it's episodes. I look forward to what vic has got with his trek just as much.That's all I have to say.
This is off topic, but I'd also say that this has brought some life back onto this forum. I'm not sure if it's the winter doldrums that has hit here, but the level of activity has been very low.I totaly agree. This site was hopping just two years ago! This was the place for daily info on production, pictures, comments. Now my lawn ( in winter) is growing faster than the comments and ideas that have been added to here. And by the by, I still think that with several great TOS FANFILMS working their A$$es off, some day in the furture, we will have several versions of TOS Starships giving us great entertainment and voyages that would make Gene Roddenberry smile. I think James would be a great editor or 'Conductor' to help more this ,'Enterprise' forward. Thank you all for your hard work.

If you eat Froot Loops, your life's going down the hole
"If it has to happen, it has to happen first." That's the advice of Lauren Vanderkam, an American journalist who's written an e-book about what the world's most successful people do before breakfast.
Her point is clear, do the most important thing in your life within an hour of waking up and you'll be happier and more successful.
Vanderberg is a terrific counterpoint to yesterday's great piece by my News Ltd colleague, Sarah Michael who revealed what successful people do in their first hour of the working day.
Michael's piece is choc-full of practical advice, like using your first hour at work to get the really hard or tricky stuff done and making use of your commute time.
But what I really want to know is what those aforesaid wildly successful people do before they get to work. Stuff like what they eat for breakfast and whether they run for an hour before 6am. Or do they play with their children, or completely abandon all sense of routine whatsoever and watch cartoons.
The "what do successful people eat for breakfast" element is partly answered by American Bon Appétit magazine, who've compiled a terrific list on famous people's first meal of the day.
Some great examples: rapper Ice Cube, who eats leftovers for breakfast. Garbage lead singer Shirley Manson, who drinks Earl Grey. And actress Maggie Gyllenhaal who eats either yogurt or hamburgers.
Most also include a little wrap of the kinds of activities they squeeze in before clocking in at work. A personal favourite has to be this from actress, Aubrey Plaza:
"Also in the mornings, I stare at myself in the mirror for a while and say, just to myself, "don't f**k this up."
Until recently I thought this obsession with other people's lives was potentially quite embarrassing; less about being curious and more sign of weakness.
Then I read this piece by Guardian journalist Oliver Burkeman and discovered that not only was I not alone, this obsession could be explained in an eloquent way.
Here's how he put it: "The best defence I can offer is that poring over others' schedules makes me, in a fruitful way, more conscious of my own; experimenting with the tricks I learn is fun, and making daily tasks a little more entertaining surely isn't a crime."
The only thing Burkeman doesn't admit to is the pretty significant degree of nosiness amid all this fascination with the daily minutiae of other people's lives.
Much like peeking through the cupboards at a house inspection or reading a colleague's email over their shoulder, being intrigued by the daily habits of strangers is just mindless brain fodder that tickles your curious side.
That said we probably shouldn't be too proud to take one or two of their tips on board.
But seriously, what do you eat for breakfast? Tell me on Twitter: @lucyjk

Coffee and some form of cereal. I'm trying to be healthy these days by going with weetbix or oats.
I really miss my morning cigarette with coffee :(
Tubesteak says:
I go for a run. Then have a shower. Then I have Weet-Bix for breakfast while reading The Punch.
Shelly says:
I'd like to be be able to eat Sugar Frosties occasionally for breakfast but I can't. What happened to the Sugar Frosties? Where have they gone? I miss them.
Al says:
"Her point is clear, do the most important thing in your life within an hour of waking up and you'll be happier and more successful. "
Only 1 problem with this suggestion:
ALL of the most important things in my life take over 1 hour, so it is impossible for me to do them 'within an hour of waking up'.

Get up. Go for a walk. Eat a bowl of muesli. That pretty much does it for the first hour. Although in a couple of weeks (sorting out storage) I am buying a kayak. I'm looking forward to the occasional dawn paddle. Or tread.

Bacon and eggs since I gave up the fags. Unfortunately I'm sick and I've hardly eaten in about 4 days. I want someone to bring me soup without me asking but I'm mean to all my friends : (
I do like the "Don't f- this up', it's about the best you can do sometimes. It's like my pool table tactics - I know I won't win, so instead of trying to sink balls I try and snooker the other guy: I last longer that way.
Anyway - good morning, breakfast is good.

Leftover cassarole on toast is an awesome brekkie, my standing order for birthday breakfast is curried snags on toast with good OJ and coffee. Most of the time though it is a toasted tomato & cheese sanga with coffee.
Sundays, when we have more time, are either waffles, pancakes, omlette or egg & bacon on toast
colin says:
Exercise for an hour on first rising, followed by a nice breakfast consisting perhaps some roast Beef, a slice of a well-browned bread, a goodly chunk of cheese, a nice piece of smoked salmon, some anchovies in capers, and a big bowl of mixed fruit,all washed down with good strong cups of tea (brewed in a teapot, never from a "tea-bag")
A very light lunch, a small dinner with no carbohydrates. Repeat - with variations - every day. Fit and healthy as an ox, I am

Since this site seems to be big on correct spelling I feel I must correct the misspelling by the author and several others of Froot Loops (you can see it on the pedometer) .
Maybe if they used the word "fruit" the product would be expected to contain fruit.

Why Coordinated School Health?
Healthy students learn better and therefore achieve academic success. There are many issues that affect student health and many partners who can positively affect the outcomes of these issues. SD Coordinated School Health (CSH) is collaboration between the Department of Education and the Department of Health developing partnerships and coordinating programming to improve the health, education, and well-being of the young people of South Dakota. Coordinated School Health is recommended by CDC as a strategy for improving students' health and learning in our nation's schools. The link below outlines the rationale and goals for coordinated school health and provides a model framework for planning. To learn more about Coordinated School Health go to: http://www.cdc.gov/healthyyouth/cshp/ . To visit the South Dakota CSH web site go to: http://doe.sd.gov/schoolhealth/index.asp.

The Departments of Health and Education are working together to prevent initiation of tobacco use among young people. In addition to well-known health consequences, smoking can affect students' attendance and academic performance in school. The cornerstone of a comprehensive effort to discourage tobacco use is the adoption and consistent enforcement of policies for a completely tobacco free school environment.
In order to determine the status of school tobacco policies in South Dakota and provide better assistance to schools, tobacco policies are being collected by South Dakota State University from each school district. These tobacco policies will be assessed using the checklist, and each district will receive a report summarizing the strengths and weaknesses of the policy. Technical assistance will be available to schools upon request. In addition, districts can apply for grant funding to support tobacco policy and prevention programs. For more information on model tobacco policies for schools go to: http://www.doe.sd.gov/schoolhealth/tobaccopolicy.asp.

Immunizations for Children Entering School Required by Law
Schools are required to follow SD State Law (SDCL 13-28-7.1) requiring any pupil entering school to be adequately immunized against certain childhood diseases. Schools should not admit any student who has not submitted acceptable evidence of having received, or of being in the process of receiving, the immunizations required by law.
When children are not up to date, it is the responsibility of the school to follow-up with the parents/guardians. Department of Education maintains the responsibility for follow-up with schools who do not submit records in a timely manner. The Department of Health staff maintains responsibility for auditing the records that you submit. Allowing inadequately vaccinated children into a school system means that the school accepts the risk of potential liability should an inadequately vaccinated child become ill and infect others with a disease that the required vaccinations may have prevented. Immunization Records can be submitted on one of two forms: 1) The School Immunization Certificate (dated 2/2011) OR the Patient Long Form printed from the SD Immunization Information System (SDIIS). Go to http://doh.sd.gov/Immunize/School.aspx for required immunizations needed for school entry.

Implementing Strong Nutrition Standards for Schools: Financial Implications
The Division of Adolescent and School Health is pleased to share a new resource. The "Implementing Strong Nutrition Standards for Schools: Financial Implications" fact sheet summarizes the existing evidence of the financial impact on schools that have implemented strong nutrition standards.
Implementing nutrition standards can be an effective strategy to improve the nutritional quality of foods offered and purchased in the school setting. One of the primary reasons that state and local education agencies are hesitant to implement strong nutrition standards for competitive foods is that they are concerned about losing the revenue that is generated from selling snacks and beverages to students. However, a key finding presented is that while some schools report an initial decrease in revenue after implementing nutrition standards, a growing body of evidence suggests that schools can have strong nutrition standards and still maintain financial stability.
The fact sheet is available for download at: http://www.cdc.gov/healthyyouth/nutrition/pdf/financial_implications.pdf
Anti-bullying, Cyberbullying and Digital Safety Resources
In partnership with the Be A STAR Anti-bullying Campaign, the National Education Association Health Information Network is proud to introduce a new complimentary teaching resources for educators. The compelling new film, That's What I Am, touches on the problem of bullying in schools and communities. Staring Academy Award-nominated actor Ed Harris, the film presents a moving and thought provoking exploration of the ways that bullying can impact people of all ages. It also shows the courage of students and educators in the face of bullying.
The instructional activities presented in this resource guide help teach middle school students about bullying and cyberbullying, the pillars of good character, and social equality. Through self-reflection about the positive examples of moral character represented in the movie, students can begin to develop the skills and tools to prevent bullying, to not be a bystander.
The program features:
• Free downloadable clips from That's What I Am for classroom use
• Free Educational Resource Guide with film synopsis, classroom lessons, and resource section
• Nine cross-references learning themes with instructions activities and student activity sheets
• That's What I Am reflective journal
• Suggested inter-disciplinary anti-bullying framework
• Tied to national education standards in Language Arts, Social Studies, and Health
• Suggested for grades 6-8

Grant Winners Announced for School-Based Health Centers Capital Program
Health Resources and Services Administration awarded $95 million in competitive federal grants to school-based health centers to 278 programs across the country. These programs will improve access to basic primary health care for school-aged children, many of whom have no other sources of care. The School-Based Health Centers Capital Program is the first-ever source of federal funding to uniquely support school-based health centers.
The City of Sioux Falls Health Department, SD and Community Health Center of Black Hills Inc. Rapid City, SD were two South Dakota recipients.
Schools Added to Fresh Fruit, Vegetable Program This Year
The Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program (FFVP) will expand to include an additional 24 South Dakota schools for the 2011-12 school year. That means a total of 101 schools will participate in the program this year, giving more than 23,000 elementary students the opportunity to eat fresh fruits and vegetables throughout the school day.
"These schools are taking positive steps to help students develop life-long healthy eating habits," said Sandra Kangas, director of the South Dakota Department of Education's Child and Adult Nutrition Services. "The children have an opportunity for a healthy snack, and they also learn about where fruits and vegetables come from, how they are grown, and what nutrients are in them."
The FFVP is administered by the United States Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Services and South Dakota's Department of Education – Child and Adult Nutrition Services.
Schools that participate in FFVP receive funds to provide free fresh fruit and vegetables to elementary students throughout the school day. The snack must be served outside of the breakfast or lunch meal. Elementary schools that have a high percentage of their students eligible for free or reduced-price meals receive priority for the funding.

I was recently at the Toledo, Ohio location and my experience was a good one. I'm very happy with my hair but was very hesitant at first because my student appeared to be new (right from the classroom), I was feeling like OMG she has no clue but she did a wonderful job. I really appreciate the supervisor coming to ask what I like in my hair in terms of oil and or jell. To [the Regency student]: you did great job.
PS: Also the price was a good fit for me too.
Thank you,
I truly enjoyed my first ever visit to Regency last Saturday. I was impressed with the cleanliness of the salon, and was surprised by the professionalism I was greeted with. I was paired with [a Regency student] for a thio straightener, and she was amazing. Never having one before, not only did she answer my many questions and set me at ease, she had a wonderful attitude and even made special arrangements to stay an hour after her scheduled time, just so that she could personally complete my service herself without me having to pass me to another student. She was friendly and professional, and I will be requesting her from now on.

VRT Advisories
VRT Rules 2005-04-18
Sourcefire VRT Certified Rule Update
Date: 2005-04-18
After continuing research into to the Microsoft Security Bulletin (MS05-017) released on Tuesday April 12 2005, the Sourcefire Vulnerability Research Team (VRT) has released a number of new rules to detect possible attempts to exploit the vulnerability. Additionally a rule to detect attempts to cause a Denial of Service using spoofed ICMP messages is also included in this rule pack.
Microsoft Message Queuing (MSMQ) enables messages to be queued for delivery at opportune times. Applications can query the message queue as they come online or at scheduled times.
A programming error in the MSMQ subsystem may present an attacker with the opportunity to overflow a fixed length buffer and execute code of their choosing on an affected host.
Rules to detect attacks against this vulnerability are included in this rule pack and are identified as sids 3554 through 3625.
The ICMP path MTU message informs a host that the packet size it has sent must be fragmented and will be dropped unless it is reduced to the designated MTU. It may be possible for an attacker to send a spoofed ICMP path MTU message to a host causing it to send very small packets. This may then result in the host experiencing a Denial of Service (DoS).
A rule to detect attacks against this vulnerability is included in this rule pack and is identified as sid 3626.
Rule Pack Summary:
For a complete list of new and modified rules, click here.
Sourcefire VRT rule packs often utilize enhancements made to Snort. Operators should upgrade to the latest revision or patch level for Snort to ensure these enhancements are available before using these rules.

text: Prop B Passage Won't Change Strategy Missouri agriculture and animal owner groups pledge to continue efforts to expose Humane Society of the United States. Published on: Nov 5, 2010 Tweet Post to Your Wall. Email Story RSS Permalink Print Missourians for Animal Care Chairman Don Nikodim released the following statement regarding the narrow passage of Proposition B on behalf of the coalition of mainstream agriculture and animal owner groups in the state. "On Tuesday, rural Missourians sent a clear message that they will not tolerate outside organizations telling them how to do business. While we are disheartened by the narrow passage of Proposition B, the members of Missourians for Animal Care are encouraged by agriculture's united front at the polls," Nikodim said. "With voters in 103 out of 116 election jurisdictions opposing Proposition B, people in rural Missouri saw through the emotional smokescreen bankrolled primarily by the Humane Society of the United States based out of Washington, D.C. As agricultural organizations and allied industries, our strength has always been our grassroots. We are proud of the farmers and citizens who stood up to HSUS and voted no on the flawed and misleading ballot proposal." "While the election is over, efforts to expose HSUS and their manipulative animal rights agenda have just begun. Missouri farmers care about producing safe and affordable food. We will continue working to ensure our industry and our food supply is managed by the hands of farmers and not the bank accounts of outside interests." Charles Kruse, Missouri Farm Bureau president, also issued a statement after the Nov. 2 election results were in. "The passage of Proposition B is disappointing because it will put licensed, reputable dog breeders out of business, not those that are unlicensed and raise dogs in unsanitary conditions," Kruse said. "With Proposition B passing and practically all the proponents' funding coming from out-of-state individuals and organizations such as the Humane Society of the United States, Missouri farmers and ranchers are concerned that animal agriculture will be the next target of the radical animal rights agenda." Kruse emphasized that Farm Bureau will remain vigilant in standing up for Missouri farmers and ranchers who treat their animals humanely and help provide a safe and wholesome food supply.

Vanguard Group shook up the cloistered world of stock indexing this month with plans to dump benchmark-maker MSCI MSCI 0.00% MSCI Inc.

More quote details and news » (ticker: MSCI), a cost-cutting move that affects an unusually large number of investors. In the short run, the shifts probably don't change much about fund performance. Over time, though, they should help low-cost Vanguard push its fees even lower.
The change also suggests that the rivalry between Vanguard and BlackRock's BLK -1.29% BlackRock Inc. U.S.: NYSE $303.62 -3.98 -1.29% April 24, 2014 4:01 pm Volume (Delayed 15m) : 541,808 AFTER HOURS $304.09 +0.47 +0.15% April 24, 2014 5:11 pm Volume (Delayed 15m): 3,270 P/E Ratio 16.85 Market Cap $51.37 Billion Dividend Yield 2.54% Rev. per Employee $935,175 04/24/14 Nasdaq OMX Group's Profit More... 04/23/14 Fund Firms' Subsidiaries Helpe... 04/20/14 Mutual Funds Moonlight as Vent... More quote details and news » (BLK) iShares may lose a flashpoint or two. Dropping MSCI means ceding more institutional investors to iShares, as BlackRock's exchange-traded-fund unit knows that much of its core institutional market is wedded to MSCI benchmarks. But Vanguard could widen its already substantial appeal to individual investors if it keeps squeezing costs. (For more on the Vanguard/BlackRock rivalry, see feature. "BlackRock on a Roll".)
Yet a third take-away from Vanguard's move is the rise of indexing techniques that promise to reduce several large, popular funds' trading costs. Investors should welcome the new methods.
In the next several months, more than half a trillion dollars of Vanguard mutual-fund and ETF assets will move to indexes created by the U.K.'s FTSE Group and the University of Chicago's Center for Research in Security Prices. Chief among the 22 affected funds is the Vanguard Emerging Markets VWO 0.00% Vanguard FTSE Emerging Markets ETF U.S.: NYSE Arca $40.93 0.00 0.00% April 24, 2014 4:00 pm Volume (Delayed 15m) : 10.66M AFTER HOURS $40.93 0.00 0.00% April 24, 2014 4:17 pm Volume (Delayed 15m): 14,467 P/E Ratio N/A Market Cap N/A Dividend Yield 1.03% Rev. per Employee N/A More quote details and news » ETF (VWO), the top ETF asset-gatherer of the past five years, which will get a makeover as it switches to a FTSE index. In the biggest change, the fund's 16% South Korea weighting will disappear, removing stocks such as Samsung Electronics (005930.Korea) and Hyundai Motor (005380.Korea).
There is also a notable change for the popular and broad Vanguard Total Stock Market VTI +0.13% Vanguard Total Stock Market ETF U.S.: NYSE Arca $97.50 +0.13 +0.13% April 24, 2014 4:00 pm Volume (Delayed 15m) : 1.47M AFTER HOURS $97.50 0.00 0.00% April 24, 2014 4:17 pm Volume (Delayed 15m): 316 P/E Ratio N/A Market Cap N/A Dividend Yield 1.74% Rev. per Employee N/A More quote details and news » ETF (VTI). This fund will add more micro-cap and small-cap stocks to the thousands of shares it already tracks. Performance shouldn't see much of an impact in either case, although the road is paved for expense cuts, which can matter hugely for long-run performance.
The bigger consequence may be to take some of the heat off BlackRock's iShares MSCI Emerging Markets Index EEM +0.10% iShares MSCI Emerging Markets ETF U.S.: NYSE Arca $41.38 +0.04 +0.10% April 24, 2014 4:00 pm Volume (Delayed 15m) : 38.37M AFTER HOURS $41.37 -0.01 -0.02% April 24, 2014 4:49 pm Volume (Delayed 15m): 941,593 P/E Ratio N/A Market Cap N/A Dividend Yield 1.77% Rev. per Employee N/A 04/07/14 Barron's: HSBC Highlights Tape... 04/01/14 What Emerging-Market Woes?

BlackRock recently pledged to reduce expenses on certain core ETFs, and EEM is where many analysts look. But EEM is set to become unique again because of the index change. "If you're an institution and you need an MSCI benchmark, you probably can't use a Vanguard ETF anymore," says Doug Sipkin, a senior analyst at Susquehanna Financial, a market-making firm that deals in BlackRock's stock.
Sipkin predicts BlackRock might not need to cut EEM fees as steeply in light of the Vanguard news, or even at all. Step back from the details and the take-away might be this: The more that Vanguard focuses on cost and small-time investors' needs, and iShares on trading and other institutional issues, the less the two companies need to beat each other up with price cuts and other enticements.
Of course, there are plenty of other ETF providers ready to step in and heighten competition, as Charles Schwab SCHW -0.55% Charles Schwab Corp.

SPEAKING OF COMPETITION, there's another underappreciated dynamic of the Vanguard shift: new indexing practices. The University of Chicago's Center for Research in Security Prices, which has provided data to financial researchers for decades, uses a practice known as "packeting" to guide index funds' buying and selling of stocks. As a stock grows in size, the method allows the stock to be shared between two indexes -- large-cap and mid-cap, for instance -- which relieves index funds of the need to buy or sell an entire stockholding when that stock graduates from one designation to another. This should reduce the splash that a $10 billion or $20 billion ETF makes when it buys and sells chunks of stock on the open market.
The research center's indexes also use randomly selected days to determine the market-capitalization figures used to rank stocks, which serves to cut down on the information available to would-be arbitrageurs. Investors should applaud those changes, ignoring suggestions that they make the portfolio less transparent.
"There's no magic here," says Rodney Comegys, head of index analysis and ETF trading at Vanguard. "One of the goals of CRSP's indexes is to be objective and not opaque."

Would you ever consider booking a hunt with...
After posting about professional hunter and safari operator Krys Wessels from Kukuzans Safaris who was expelled in 2006 from PHASA for 4 years and who now has had his PHASA membership suspended, it got me thinking...
Would you ever consider booking a hunt with a professional hunter or hunting outfitter knowing that his membership from a prominent hunting association or organization is or has been in the past suspended, revoked or reinstated?

If he was expelled by his peers? Not a chance. There are too many other PH's to choose from that have great ethics and DO follow the rules. Why invite trouble?

Depends what it was for.................if it was for wildlife act offences or for cause due to complaints from clients which were justified, then no. However, as with all things that have people and egos involved, I have seen professional hunters/outfitters expelled for infractions that are not related to their ability to run a legal, ethical and professional hunt, commonly referred to as 'politics' or internal administration offences. In that case I may well book a hunt with them.....................I have seen way too much internal politics in organizations to hold that against anyone.

No, too many reputable alternatives, why take a chance. Frankly, I am leery of anyone who has multiple negative reports on the hunting report, other forums or here. I don't get concerned over one bad report, but multiple ones make me leery.

I try to use word of mouth, many people, you can get a feel for after talking to them for a bit, but some are slick and could con you out of your last buck .Any information that you can use to including internet positives and negatives are just that << information>>> one item does not condem a outfitter .But having your peers kick you out of PHASA would put up a big red flag for me

If the PH was suspended because he is a brawler and likes to figth but,, but is a very good hunter, determined and brave, I will hire him in a new york minute.NEW SCI CHAPTER MONTERREY MEXICO
I would say that past hunter reports have much more value for me than any hunting association. There are many "high Up's" in many clubs and associations that feel they are entitled to many free hunts and other perks because of there position. I would think these politics also play a part on who they endorse or support.
I do not know the PH you mentioned and never really paid any attention to PHASA until I searched there website after seeing this thread, so I have no dog in this hunt.
I have in the past however been leary of any group that tries to impose addl rules which are above the law on any group of hunters. I see that this is a volintary org, and beyond there PH membership dues, they tax every hunter a fee for each animal harvested. They also sell awards thru the PH where the PH makes a hefty commission.
I have never been one for buying awards, trophies, plaques and medals just to show off and please oneself.

I agree with the statement below. I'm not a huge fan of PHASA. I would never hunt with an unethical or knowingly illegal operator but i also know how politics can work. As an attorney by profession, i'm trained to not take the first accusation as truth. I would want more information.

I am tracking with you Dugaboy. A PH or outfitter runs a business. For better or worse, professional associations such as PHASA and NAPHA are the "auditing agencies" of such businesses. I absolutely pay attention to such things."We sleep peaceably in our beds because rough men stand ready in the

Why was he suspended? It is not expelled if it was for a specified period of time and allowed back in.

It was my complaint that got Krys suspended. Long story short, we left our 17 year old son with Krys to work for the summer. Our hunt ended in Zimbabwe, Kry left camp early and didn't pay the landower or the government. Subsequently they arrested the 3 Kukuzans employees and my son. We were able to bribe them enough to have them held in camp rather than Jail but took us almost 6 weeks to get him home. Mostly because of the soccer world cup. After safely getting him home we discovered that none of the landowners on our 2009 or 2010 hunts had been paid. Krys was telling them that we did not pay him and that was the delay. We are still working on getting our 2009 trophies out of Africa. Our broker lost over 160,000 on deposits for future hunts that were cancelled. I have been in touch with a number of clients that are in the same situation with animals they cannot recover. We've spoken to one taxidermist that has over 78 clients with animals in limbo because they cannot get the proper signatures or permits to export the animals. The extent at which this outfitter lied to us was incredible. Sad fact is that even with his suspension he is still hunting, and we can't get any legal help from S Africa to get this guy locked up. Even the landowners have filed dozens of complaints but nothing seems to happen. Even as of last week Kry is threatening me with legal action for ruining his business. Not that I believe he'll actually do it, but it continues to pour salt on a healing wound. We also might loose two of our trophies because they were shot in a province without a quota for those animals. During the hunt we had a great time, it wasn't until we started trying to recover our trophies from 2009 that we began to see warnings, part of the deal for our 2010 hunts was a resolution to our 2009 animals. We got that but not until a week before our departure. Ultimately we discovered he was lying about that as well. Since this all happened his wife has left him, and we're struggling to recover our animals. I did check references and used a good broker but still got burned. So buyer beware. He's no longer showing at SCI but he was there for the two hunts we booked.

To have left your son in camp is something that you will live with the rest of your life...the old what if's come into play...
I would guess that your trophy's are a loss, however look at the bright side you have your son back...
As you said references can be checked and former clients talked to and you just do not know what you will run into when you get there...
Most are great and yours went the other direction...
Look at the bright side...you have your son, memories and pictures...all else can be replaced over time...James Grage - New Mexico

You can get all the references in the world. But you never know when someone will turn bad. It can happen overnight. You did your research and this guy burned you bad! As James said you got your son back and everything else is irrelevant.

We felt terrible that we put Dakota in that situation for sure! We were with Krys and his wife and he assured us he would treat Dakota as his own son. We contemplated this for months before we decided to do this. But in the end it was a mistake and we are so thankful the outcome was getting Dakota home safe. He learned alot and grew up during this ordeal. So all in all it was a opportunity to learn and we did.

JRF had been a partner with Mazon in the area of hunger and poverty relief for over two decades. As part of our affiliation with Mazon, we were invited to participate in a major international convocation and lobbying effort in Washington in June 2005. Out of that event a Religious coalition was formed that has continued to communicate through the auspices of Bread for the World and Mazon about national and international hunger and poverty concerns.
On December 1st, 2005, we were invited with a select group of national religious leaders to meet with Secretary Condoleezza. Rice Rabbi Fred Dobb of JRF congregation Adat Shalom in Bethesda, Maryland, represented the JRF. Secretary Rice learned that Bread for the World, Mazon and other groups will be pushing for a $5 billion increase in poverty-focused development assistance next year.
Read Bread for the World's report of the meeting...
In total, 13 Christian, Jewish and Muslim leaders met with Secretary Rice on Thursday afternoon. After the meeting the religious leaders continued to exhort them before the press to push strongly for the issues.
The leaders were impressed by the scope of changes that the president had been putting forward on agriculture reform here in the United States to eliminate subsidies that penalize rural farmers and those in developing countries. Taking that as an example, some also looked into mobilizing people to action within their own spheres of influence.
The administration has put a strong proposal on the table in the Doha negotiations, said the Rev. David Beckmann, President of Bread for the World. We hope President Bush and other world leaders will go the extra mile to achieve a breakthrough this month.
On the issue of aid, McCarrick spoke about the benefits of aid and debt relief and how they improved the prospects for fairer trade.
Poor countries need the support of more generous foreign aid and broader debt relief so that they can invest in education and health care for their people and in building their capacity for trade, he said.
Dr. H. Eric Shockman, President of MAZON – a Jewish Response to Hunger – pointed out several shared traits among all the leaders gathered including a commitment to global justice, the recognition that what were once obscure issues such as debt and trade relief were starting to resonate in congregations of different faiths. He urged that those people of faith take their scriptures and used them for social action.
Without social action ... we are nothing. We are not living our faith, he said. I think that ultimately brings us back in a united common effort where my colleague quotes Luke and I quote Isaiah and we'll come to the same conclusion.
Dr. Sayyid M. Syeed, Secretary General for the Islamic Society of North America said the grouping of religious leaders was a historical gathering.
We are instrumental in mobilizing the world's resources, our resources to fight this big challenge. The challenge of poverty. The challenge of hunger. And the challenge of deprivation.
Over the next months, there will be occasions when your voice may be needed to your representatives in Congress or to the Bush administration. We will be in touch with you as these opportunities come up. What you do to involve your members in Mazon's lobbying to increase poverty-focused development assistance is especially important.
